Description

In her sparkling and hilarious debut, author Gwyn Cready introduces Persephone “Seph” Pyle, a total control freak who plans for everything until a pair of killer heels sends her back in time and into the arms of a ruggedly handsome sea captain straight from the pages of a romance novel.

Wandering the Pittsburgh airport before a business trip, Seph decides to kill time with some preflight shopping—anything to get her mind off Tom Fraser, her irresistible, dimple-chinned coworker turned travel buddy. So, when a pair of to-die-for pink stilettos calls her name from a store window, she tries them on—only to be swiftly transported back to the eighteenth century and flung aboard a turbulent ship sailing the Mediterranean.

There, Seph is stunned to meet Phillip Drummond, an arrogant British pirate and the spitting image of Tom. Phillip has summoned her back in time to straighten out his complete mess of a life—for he is the burly hero in the romance novel she someday hopes to write, and she is responsible for his destiny. But in the midst of turning things right so she can get back to reality, Seph starts to fall for the smolderingly sexy Phillip. And when Tom is thrown into the mix, she doesn't know what—or who—she wants. Seph soon realizes that spotting the perfect pair of shoes may be easy, but finding the perfect man can be a real trip.
